 "E3 2011: Battlefield 3 Will Have Co-op, Team Deathmatch")
There’s no doubt that Battlefield 3 is one of E3’s most anticipated titles. Making the wait for a multiplayer gameplay reveal even harder is this statement from DICE’s general manager, Karl Magnus Troedsson via the Battlefield blog ,” Of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game’s extensive co-op campaign, the introduction of Team Death Match mode and the Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination – featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats.” Will the entire campaign be playable in co-op or will they be a bunch of standalone missions?

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
